Korean entertainments?

Question

i want to try out for all but i dont know if my parents would let me go to korea and i dont even know korean at all. what should i do?

Answer 1

There's really just one issue. Do you have talent and are you prepared to go through h**l to get famous?

... if its all for the glits and glam, give up now. For the korea language thing, consider the fact that people like ayumi, hankyung and jang ri In are famous with korean as their second language.

also note that you will have to learn korean at one stage, but it shouldn't stop you from going into the business, or training, it will just be really hard.

as for the parents thing. If you really want something, if it is your passion, then your parents should understand.

if you live outside korea, SM entertainment, also holds auditions in other countries and i do believe that knowing korean is not required? .. again remember that you will have to learn it sooner or later.

well good luck ;D

Answer 2

becoming a famous entertainment is really hard

consider the fact that there are a lot of ppl having this dream to become a star, but how many of them actually succeed?

beside looking good, you need potential and sociability in order to let those director(for film)/producer to promote you and let you become famous.

1) entertainment industry(not only in korea) is a very difficult place. For difficult i mean uninnoccent and dark

2) in order to become an entertainment, you need to prepare an amount of money beforehand ( for clothing, jewelry, etc, cuz a entertainment cannot appear on the tv with the same cloth 2 times, otherwise it's consider rude) Like an investment huh, and the money is also for living cost before getting famous.

3) if you enter the entertainment industry and decide to become a star, then you need to be certain that you're going to be famous in the future, otherwise 1) waste your whole youth working in the industry for nothing 2) if you walk on the street one day or meet a casher in Mcdonald, ppl might recognize you (might be becuz you appeared in a drama or tv before) but didn't get famous, then ppl will point at you and talk behind your back.

4) a famous star has its positive point, but it also has it's negative point. Yes, it feels really good to be surround by ppl and admired by tons of your fan that like you and support you, but have you ever think of that there will also be a lot ppl don't like you and they might make scandal to destroy your image. After you become famous, you need to be 100% careful about ur action. if you're catched going to a movie with a male friend, the news might worsen it and it can cause a lot of gossip

5) if you want to become a star, you need to be very persistent, you need to endure and learn to ignore every negative judgement.

Do not only look at the surface of a star (ex: admiration, applaud, and wearing pretty clothing appear on the tv), look deep inside, then consider it carefully, otherwise you might regret forever

Answer 3

if you cant even speak korean then why even try?

go learn korean first

Answer 4

I'll tell you what happened to a friend of mine that tried out for SM entertainment and came close to becoming famous.

I live in California, and knew a friend that lived in the same neighborhood as I did. We went to the same elementary and middle school, but never saw each other for high school, because he moved to Chicago. We always kept in touch through Myspace, and we would continue our conversations. One day, he told me something about SM Global Audtions or something and that he went and auditioned. He got a call back and he was taken to the same place he auditioned a week before, but this time there were different judges and only a few other people (11 others). He sang and danced and it seemed like the judges were interested in him. After a long conversation with his parents, they gave their consent and he moved to South Korea to live with his aunt. SM paid for his flying ticket and other expenses, and he kept telling me that he couldn't believe he got accepted. He went to an international school in South Korea called Kent or something, and spent most of his days practicing. He slept about 4-6 hours a day, and it was hard for him to keep up with school. He did this for about 3 months, and to my surprise, left the entertainment company. I was shocked, but he told me a lot of good reasons why. He said that not knowing anyone and not being able to have a social life made things very hard for him. He also said that the training process was very very difficult and tiring. They strongly suggested him to eat food in small portions to lose weight, and he told me that he wasn't even going to make that much money because the CEO of SM Entertainment took about 75% of the profits from selling albums while 15% went to pay the staff, and 5% to him (less if he was in a group which I'm sure he would've been stuck in). He came back to Chicago with his parents paying for his ticket and everything. He was very depressed and exhausted for a while, but he improved and went back to his old lifestyle.

I'm not sure if this is the same for other entertainment companies, but to become famous and successful is not easy. That's why singers SM produces are so popular! I heard that 100's of trainees leave every month from SM. It's very common.

So, if you really want to become famous and successful, you better look ahead and prepare for yourself. K-pop singers are well known to get sent to hospitals for exhaustion and not getting enough rest. However, if you really want to be a singer and stuff and it shows, entertainment companies will like that about you. Don't worry about not knowing Korean. If they see potential in you, they will put you through a vigorous and invigorating study program and even learn languages other than Korean (like Japanese, Chinese, etc). With whichever decision you make, I hope you good luck!

(As for the story, I only said it because I don't want other people to share the same pain that my friend felt. I didn't mean to discourage you or anything.)

Answer 5

why would you want to try out for an entertainment industry in which you don't know the language at all of ? that'll be probably pretty difficult don't cha think....

you can try learning korean first and if your parents won't let you go to Korea then i guess you'd have to wait til you're old enough to go by yourself and try to break into the industry then.
